A couple years ago here in Canada, Trump's scene was cut for time on a TV airing (the channel gets government funding) and people called for that channel to be defunded lol.

“We should edit art 25 years later as opinions change” is still bullshit whether it’s a pointless cameo in a disposable comedy or a major scene in a timeless classic.

Actually more stupid cultural bullshit should be chaotically defaced by the very forces that gave them birth as a symptom of their desperate struggle to maintain the legitimacy of the status quo during the accelerating death spiral of capitalism, it's cool, it's hilarious, and more artistic and poignant than the worthless, fetid media commodities they are trying to purge ever could hope to be.

Your move, creep.



I think the Home Alone 2 thing started as Trump supporters freaking out because someone claimed he had been edited out of it, but it turned out to just be the broadcast version in Canada where it was probably done to fit the film to standard TV scheduling.

So I'll get a chuckle out of it if they replace or edit him out because it will be a funny bit of irony that the constant whining and self-victimization made it happen.

Disneyland is right in the middle of a city. Most of the people who go to the park and those who get annual passes people are locals. The passes for CA residents can be a good deal even if you just go few times a year.

I don't think we're at the "storming political places in freeper LARP" level, but we have some weird right-ish guys and some guys who like Trump. I remember the night of the election seeing a tall skinny white dude wearing a maga hat in the subway, and just the other day I saw a weird lone car driving down the street with two "CANADIANS FOR TRUMP" flags flying from the top.

Be that as it may, isn't it a tourist trap in the first place. What's the benefit of going there more than once or, hell, twice.

If you have children,it might be a good (?) thing but I am trying hard to come up with a reason for an adult going there multiple times a year.

How? California has been closed for almost a year and FL was closed for months with really restricted ticket access since.

FL, and I think Universal and the other trash parks in Orlando that sprung up around Disney have all been varying levels of open.

She hits up the group chat with reports of people not following social distancing and it's like "motherfucker you are at a theme park don't tell me about how mad you got at someone not respecting the rules when you went to a loving theme park during a pandemic"

I wouldn't call it a tourist trap. It's literally one of the best theme parks in the world. It's the one the rest are all modeled after. Some people really enjoy those things and if you're local, it can be a fun thing to do through out the year. There's always seasonal things going on to get you coming back.

Perverts and weirdos, op. They had to put in the "no adult costumes" rule because old nerds would monopolize the actors time for their own private larp.

It really hurt him Hamill in a personal way that Rian turned Luke into a pathetic old failure in TLJ without even any real payoff in the story. It was also a huge self-own for the Star Wars brand. I expect that we’re going to see more of young Luke and Disney distancing itself further from the ST.

Saw The Blob for the first time after I watched the review. Really solid movie, kept my attention the whole time. Great pacing. It only got goofy during the Resident Evil boss battle scenes. RLM spoiled half of the gags but the rest still made my laugh. A++ would recommend.

Watched about half of Season 3 of Disenchantment, and it's much worse than the first two. There are barely any jokes, and the plot's just a series of things that happen not really connected to each other.

I disagree, they make jokes. They're just so incredibly unfunny they're not immediately recognizable as jokes.
